by C.B. Anderson

She polished off his apple, then she tried
to instigate another round. She yearned
to grapple under covers, was denied
because of how she carelessly had burned

his fuse too early, and for all the glossal
administry she plied, got nothing in
return. Her disappointment was colossal
until her zeal for milty medicine

revealed a perfect remedy: A man
should revel in the art of cunnilingus
and find some pleasure pleasuring a fan
of his who's never failed to please his dingus.

When sticky fluids drip from bobbing chins
in equal measure, everybody wins.
